Woodvale Secondary College

Canberra Private Schools introduces Woodvale Secondary College in Woodvale, for all your education and learning needs.

Woodvale Senior High School opened in 1985 with approximately 200 Year 8 students from the suburbs of Kingsley,Woodvale and Edgewater located some 20km north of the city.

The catchment area for the school encompasses the middle socio-economic range suburbs of Kingsley and Woodvale and is defined by the boundaries formed by Wanneroo Road and the Mitchell freeway in an east-west alignment and Ocean Reef Road to the north. The south border is in line with the cycle path from Montessori Place to the Mitchell Freeway in Kingsley.

Academically, Woodvale students perform at a level above the State average. The Academic Extension Programme receives good community support, the Music Program sees 20% of the population participating in an instrumental program and the school each year presents a number of students who do well in the WACE Examinations.

Physical facilities are equal or better than any government school and, in all but a few cases, non government schools. In particular, the campus wide Information Technology Network provides a wide range of digital media capabilities and professional level software, and is noteworthy in that it compares favourably with any of the best equipped schools in the nation.

Over the years the school has gathered together an experienced and dedicated teaching and non-teaching staff. Staff turnover, for a number of reasons is minimal.
